Emotional Intelligence: EQ vs. IQ:

“I

Q and emotional intelligence
are not opposing competencies,
but rather separate ones…. All
of us mix IQ and emotional intelligence
in varying degrees.” Daniel Goleman,
Emotional Intelligence
Emotional Intelligence
It’s what makes us respond to a crying
baby, a furrowed brow or a smiling face.
It’s also what brings us together, lifts us
upward and inspires us onward. Defined by
psychologists in the early ‘90s, Emotional
Intelligence is the ability to monitor one’s
own and others’ feelings and emotions, to
discriminate among them and to use this
information to guide one’s thinking and
actions. “Know thyself,” said Plutarch,
writing in ancient Greece. Now extend that
to others.
EI vs. IQ
Emotion, according to the experts, is an
unconscious state, distinct from cognition
(thinking), volition (will) or motivation.

Intelligence, on the other hand, is “a set
of cognitive abilities which allows us to
acquire knowledge, to learn and to solve
problems.” Given this, IQ and EI seem like
contradictions in terms, an oxymoron, an
“us vs. them.” But IQ/EQ tests not
withstanding, Emotional Intelligence is not
the opposite of intelligence. Rather it is a
unique intersection of the two that can
enable you to use your emotions to help you
solve problems and live a more effective
life – both at home and at work.

... IS EQ MORE IMPORTANT THAN IQ?
I think EQ is more important than IQ for the success or failure of a student in this world.
IQ's may be based on a student's level of knowledge but EQ's are the level of a student's ability to emotionally judge situations and/or fit into groups by managing their personal interactions.
EQ or Emotional Quotient is a measure of your ability to notice and then manage your interior and exterior perceptions of your feelings and then control your reactions. Your mood will always control your ability to resolve problems making this an important skill to develop and use. Using a well developed EQ will help you manage your emotions. And developing a higher EQ can be done quite easily.
IQ or Intelligence Quotient is a measure of intelligence. A way to rate this for any individual is by taking an IQ test. An IQ test measures different types of abilities:verbal, memory, mathematical, spatial, and reasoning. This test has a preset standard based on a representative group of the population. The majority of people rank in at about 90-110. Generally, IQ tests actually test general intelligence. Many experts feel IQ tests are a measure of an individual's problem solving ability and not an actual measure of general intelligence.

...Wastewater Treatment Methods
and Disposal
Wastewaters are waterborne solids and liquids discharged to the sewers and represent the wastewater of community life. In composition wastewater includes dissolved and suspended organic solids, which are "putrescible" or biologically decomposable. Domestic wastewater also contains countless numbers of living organisms -- bacteria and other microorganisms whose life activities cause the process of decomposition. When decay proceeds under anaerobic conditions, that is, in the absence of dissolved oxygen in the wastewater, offensive conditions result and odors and unsightly appearances are produced. When decay proceeds under aerobic conditions, that is, in the presence of dissolved oxygen, offensive conditions are avoided and the treatment process is greatly accelerated.
The overall philosophy of wastewater sanitation involving the removal, control and treatment of a wastewater in an area that is isolated or remote from the center of activity is important. Over the years wastewater treatment management practices have evolved into a technically complex body of knowledge based on past practice and applied engineering and environmental sciences. The intelligent application of these fundamentals goes a long way toward assuring us that the environment will be maintained in a safe and acceptable condition.
There are two general treatment objectives with respect to wastewater:
1. Reducing or minimizing the public health...

...IS EQ MORE IMPORTANT THAN IQ
What is IQ??
IQ is primarily used to measure one's cognitive abilities, such as the ability to learn or understand new situations; how to reason through a given problem/scenario; the ability to apply knowledge to one's current situations. It involves primarily the neo cortex or top portion of the brain.
What is EQ??
A measure of one's emotional intelligence, as defined by the ability to use both emotional and cognitive thought. Emotional intelligence skills include but are not limited to empathy, intuition, creativity, flexibility, resilience, stress management, leadership, integrity, authenticity, intrapersonal skills and interpersonal skills. It involves the lower and central sections of the brain, called the limbic system. It also primarily involves the amygdala, which has the ability to scan everything that's happening to us moment to moment to see if it is a threat.
"It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change." - Charles Darwin
Apparent in many aspects of human interaction is the notion of "survival of the fittest." In business, government, science, and even personal relationships, the competition for that which is scarce drives humans to find an "edge" over their adversaries. A good indicator of success in the past has been the level of one's intelligence. It was assumed that the...

...through their strengths and limitations. This essay will discuss the recent popularity of emotional intelligence and that cognitive intelligence is not essentially the main predictor for organisational behaviour in modern organisations.
Cognitive intelligence generally can be referred to IQ tests or General Mental Ability (GMA) to name a few and is defined as “the general efficacy of intellectual processes” (Ackerman, Beier, Boyle, 2005, as cited in Cote &amp; Miners). Results in genetic behaviour points to beyond doubt that GMA or IQ has a strong genetic background, although heritability has shown the increase of GMA with age (Bouchard, 1998: Bouchard, McGue, 1998 as cited in Schmidt 2004). Cote and Miners 2006 believed cognitive intelligence also demonstrates as task performance based and is in relation to the organisational citizenship behaviour (OCB), this is then reflected to the organisations activities, achievement and objectives.
Since the end of World War 1 measures of GMA have been used in the recruiting and hiring of employees (Yerkes, 1921 as cited in Schmidt, 2004), though the most popular GMA tests still in modern society is the Wonderlic Personnel Test. The strengths of GMA &amp; IQ tests are that they have been used as a predictor in personnel selection for over 80 years and have substantial evidence supporting it as a strong predictor of job performance in organisations. Schmidt has stated that GMA is...

...IS EQ MORE IMPORTANT THAN IQ
IS EQ MORE IMPORTANT THAN IQ
INTRODUCTION: What is IQ ? What is EQ ? For decades, a lot emphasis has been put on certain aspect of intelligence. This intelligence is called IQ ( Intelligence Quotient ). IQ includes aspects of Mathematics, spatial learning, Verbal, logical reasoning, and memory. This intelligence could predict to a significant degree of performances and some degree of personal and professional success. However, some people with fabulous IQ scores are doing poorly in their life. They somehow are wasting their potential by thinking, behaving and communication in a way that hinders their chances to succeed. There is something missing in the success equation.
WHAT IS EQ: Emotional Intelligence refers to the ability to sense, understand, value and effectively apply the power and acumen of emotions as a source of human energy, information, trust, creativity and influence . The concept of EQ became popularized...

...EQ IS BETTER THAN IQ!
Government points | Opposition’s rebuttals |
Necessary social skills that a student needs are associated with high levels of EQ or emotional intelligence. If a student does not develop the EQ skills needed to successfully transverse the maturation process he or she will be left in a situation of having the intelligence to functionally work or play but not have the emotional skills to successfully work or play, thus limiting their potential future. They may have received good grades on tests in school classes but without a working high level of EQ they are unable to function as adult people in an adult world | A person's IQ, on the other hand, measures concepts like logical reasoning, word comprehension, and math skills rather than creative potential or emotional abilities. People with a high IQ may be able to learn certain subjects very quickly and make connections between ideas that others miss. It's correlation coefficient is .7 so in most cases the higher IQ someone has, or the higher their potential to learn is, the higher their emotional intelligence is. |
IQ tests are used as an indicator of logical reasoning ability and technical intelligence. A high IQ is often a prerequisite for rising to the top ranks of business today. It is necessary, but it is not adequate to predict executive competence and...

Emotional Intelligence : Is is more important than IQ
For decades, a lot of emphasis has been put on certain aspects of intelligence such as logical reasoning, math skills, spatial skills, understanding analogies, verbal skills etc. Researchers were puzzled by the fact that while IQ could predict to a significant degree the academic performance and, to some degree, professional and personal success, there was something missing in the equation. Some of those with fabulous IQ scores were doing poorly in life; one could say that they were wasting their potential by thinking, behaving and communicating in a way that hindered their chances to succeed. One of the major missing parts in the success equation is emotional intelligence, a concept made popular by the groundbreaking book by Daniel Goleman, which is based on years of research by numerous scientists such as Peter Salovey, John Meyer, Howard Gardner, Robert Sternberg and Jack Block, just to name a few. For various reasons and thanks to a wide range of abilities, people with high emotional intelligence tend to be more successful in life than those with lower EIQ even if their classical IQ is average. Emotional Intelligence refers to the ability to sense, understand, value and effectively apply the power and acumen of emotions as a source of human energy, information, trust, creativity and influence (Goleman, 1995 ). The term â€˜Emotional Intelligenceâ€™...
